Johnny O'Keefe theme
Last night on "A Mixed Bag with Chris B" on 93.7 Edge FM, our theme was the life and music of Johnny O'Keefe.
In 2013 I spoke with the late John "Catfish" Purser, who was JOK's original drummer in Johnny O'Keefe and the Dee Jays. I was saddened to learn of the recent passing of "Catfish" and thought it would be nice to play some of the interview in memory of the man.
Our playlist for the evening included many songs from Johnny O'Keefe's repertoire - The Wild One, Real Wild Child, I'm Counting on You, She's so Tough, She's my Baby, Move Baby Move, SHOUT (of course!!) and many more. We heard a couple of tracks from the late Billy Thorpe (Most People I know think that I'm Crazy and Over the Rainbow) because JOK was a mentor for Billy Thorpe.
"Catfish" spoke fondly of JOK, and shared his memories of those times spent with the King of Rock and Roll. To hear snippets of that interview please click on the link below. There are seven separate interview snippets.

"Super" theme
Last night on "A Mixed Bag with Chris B" on 93.7 Edge FM in the Bega Valley, our theme was "Super".
Our play list included songs from Supertramp and Supernaught as well as songs with the word "Super" in the title (Sunshine Superman by Donovan, Oh Superman by Laurie Anderson, Super Trouper by Abba, Super Bad by the one and only James Brown, Supersonic Rocket Ship by the Kinks, Super Woman by Alicia Keys and more.
Bob McDonald is the president of the local Parkinson's support group in the Bega Valley. It was great to catch up with Bob once again, and hear about a very successful Parkinson's Education Seminar recently held at the Bega Valley Commemorative Civic Centre.
In my opinion Bob is a super human, having been living with Parkinson's for 23 years, still playing golf, and providing valuable support for local people.

Brent is your full-on country fan. He likes his Slim Dusty and John Williamson tunes, whereas Garry skirts around and quite often ventures beyond the boundaries of country music.
Damon, Garry and Brent had a great old chin wag. Here is a photo of Brent and Damon having a chat.
And here is a photo of the Three Amigos, Garry, Brent and Damon
Have a listen to Damon live on air. He is the silliest serious man I know.

On A Mixed Bag with Chris B, tonight was part 2 of our Davies and Daltrey theme, as in Ray Davies from the kinks, and Roger Daltrey from the Who. With Damon Davies joining us in the studio, we knew we were in for a fun-filled evening.
Damon talked about the first time he heard himself on the radio, his first gig with his brother in Glebe, playing with the likes of Mic Conway, and why he's not performing as much as he used to.
I asked Damon to join me in singing a song, "Giving it all away" written by Leo Sayer and David Courtney for Roger Daltrey's first album, "Daltrey". I was a little indulgent tonight, and sang another song called "Oceans Away", a song Roger Daltrey recorded for his album Ride a Rock Horse.

After starting the show with a bang by playing The Who song, "Who are you", and then a gorgeous song from Ray Davies (featuring Jackson Brown) called "Waterloo Sunset", our playlist for the evening included tracks from some of Ray Davies solo albums - "Return to Waterloo" from the only movie Ray Davies wrote and directed, "Is there life after breakfast"from the album Other People's Lives, with the kinks classic tune "You really got me now" featuring Ray Davies and the Crouch End Festival Chorus
We bid Damon goodbye, and heard "Hesitation Blues" from his Wild and Wooly album. Thank you so much Damon for making tonight's show such a fun-filled episode!

To top it all off I went to Wolumla Hall this afternoon to "A Sentimental Journey" performed by Louise Page Soprano) and Pip Candy (piano). The concert was presented by the Sapphire Coast Music Society and the chosen repertoire included favourites such as Summertime (Porgy and Bess) by George Gershwin, We'll gather lilacs by Ivor Novello and "He was beautiful" by Stanley Myers.

Daniel Champagne gig at Mumbulla Hall 17 June 2017
Tonight, Daniel Champagne graced the stage of Mumbulla School Hall in Bega on the far south coast of New South Wales. Daniel wowed the audience with his percussive guitar technique, his heartfelt song writing, and put every bit of energy into his performance.
Daniel grew up in the Bega Valley, and attended Mumbulla School, and he was obviously touched by the enthusiastic and supportive home crowd who came out to see him.
Before Daniel's performance he lent his voice to Mumbulla School's year 5 choir, and the young students served tea and scones to raise money for UNHCR in the break.
Songs on Daniel's playlist included "The Coast of New South Wales", "Heart Shaped Tattoo" and "Super Nova" from the new Fault Lines album, "Same Enemy", "Gypsy Moon", and my personal favourite, "Nightingale". Daniel threw in a few cover versions - "Spoonful", "Come As You Are", and "Vincent (Starry, starry night). After the gig, Daniel was kind enough to chat with the audience, sign autographs and pose for photos.
Daniel was supported by another locally produced talent, Tim Winterflood.
It was a great show, enjoyed by all, and we can't wait for Daniel to return next year for another show. I'm off to listen to my new CD - Fault Lines by Daniel Champagne. I highly recommend you do the same. It's fantastic!

Stars theme
Our theme tonight on A Mixed Bag with Chris B (on 93.7 Edge FM in the Bega Valley) was "Stars". I was very inspired by a beautiful starry sky on a recent morning walk.
This Saturday night at Mumbulla Hall in Bega, Daniel Champagne will be performing, as part of his "Fault Lines" tour. Daniel generously granted me a telephone interview, and we played some of his wonderful songs with the word "Stars" in the title, and other songs relating to the night sky.
On Saturday, I paid a visit to Merimbula to check out the 37th Merimbula Jazz Festival. The weather was perfect and I particularly enjoyed some of the big bands at Club Sapphire. Congratulations to the Merimbula Jazz Festival Committee for all their hard work towards bringing us another great festival.

Gold!
Hello
Tonight on 93.7 Edge FM tune in for our "Gold" theme. Bega Valley's own Community Radio station.
Well, we've been back on air for the last few weeks, and it's been fun settling back into a new theme each week on 93.7 Edge FM.
On the weekend I went to see some amazing sculptures at Bermagui, and as part of the Bermagui Seaside Fair, I got to see Sarah Cowan and her band Sacred Cow perform. It was fabulous listening to Sarah's beautiful voice and the wonderful sound of the band while I walked around visiting the stalls.
Here's a great photo of Sarah from the gig at Bermagui Seaside Fair.
